About our roof survey in Farnborough
Our roof surveys cover Farnborough and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey lead flashings, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Farnborough mixes older houses, often slate or clay tiled, with newer estates, many of them with concrete tiles. Older homes often keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Newer homes have fewer chimneys but their own weak points at ridges, verges and gutters.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local roofs in Farnborough
Farnborough Airport is about 2 miles from Farnborough. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Landlords with a home close to Farnborough Main station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Farnborough is about 31 miles south-west of City of Westminster, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Farnborough as part of our work across London and the South East. Farnborough is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Guildford is in our area too.

How we price roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by

Signs you need a roof survey in Farnborough
Some damage starts inside the loft space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Loose chimney pots
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Anyone responsible for a site like Tower Hill Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

Farnborough questions
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Farnborough?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Farnborough is about 2 miles from Farnborough Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Farnborough?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will give you an idea of timing when you book.
How do I book a survey in Farnborough?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Farnborough
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. Around Farnborough, gutters that overflow soak the wall below. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Neither gets better on its own.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why book us in Farnborough
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Surveys seven days a week
- An independent look at the roof
- Over 20 years’ experience

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In Farnborough, many roofs join a neighbour’s, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. Tell us about any known leaks, past repairs or building work when you book, so time on site goes where it’s needed.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
